Hungary's Orban Aims to 'Give the Finger' to Europe in Migrant Referendum - NBCNews.com
[ad_2]
Hungary's right-wing leader is hoping to "give the finger" to the European Union on Sunday in a nationwide referendum over immigration, according to experts.
Viktor Orban's government is urging voters to reject an EU plan requiring countries to welcome a quota of migrants who have traveled from the Middle East and beyond.
Imposed last year, the program requests that Hungary accept 1,294 asylum-seekers — around 0.01 percent of its 9.9 million population.
Orban — a hardline prime minister who's positioned himself as one of Europe's staunchest anti-immigration voices — has backed the referendum campaign to reject the deal.
